Hello friends, It has been too long since my last blog post! I promise to do a better job with blogging in 2018. This cold weather we have been having can be difficult to deal with. We still have events in the winter that need beautiful flowers though. Recently we had a large event in […]

It’s good to talk with you again! By now the world is swimming in red roses. I love all shades of red (it is my favorite color family) but I actually like something different on Valentine’s Day. I recently held my first floral design class at Zazu boutique in Ashburn, VA.

I can’t believe it is already August! Floral friends, time just won’t stand still. I had a busy spring with events and floral design classes (hence, no blog posts). July and August can be quiet for floral designers since many couples prefer not to get married outside in the summer heat. For those couples that do decide to wed in summer, when choosing flowers they often pick the “queen” flower, or the beautiful dahlia.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alina Thomas on a branding shoot for my business. Alina is a wonderful photographer in Leesburg, VA. You can check out more of her work on her website, www.alinathomas.com. We had a fun afternoon together in June, right before I had two weddings. Both brides chose blush and white wedding flowers and I showcased some of the blooms in our shoot.

It’s been quite an interesting year so far. The COVID19 pandemic has certainly changed the way we just about everything. Since many of our weddings have been rescheduled for later this year or next year, I’ve had a lot of free time. Last year I taught a few beginner floral design classes which were very rewarding to me. I decided to take the plunge do a virtual class a few weeks ago.
